Default change color if text is = or not, to text in other column

I am taking practice tests. ColB contains text (the correct answers). ColC
contains text (my practice answers). I want the cells in ColC to turn green
if my answer is correct (matches the text in ColB) and turn red if it is
incorrect (does not match the text in ColB).
I can't figure out how to get it to apply Conditional Formating on the
columns. It wants me to apply it to only a single cell. I've also tried
copying and pasting special just the formatting. It turns the cells in ColC
green if they match cell B2 (not the corresponding answer that is in the same
row).
Please help! Thank you!
